So 2 DK A321s bound for the Canaries from far north Scandanavian cities, refuelling at BFS. The above one on Friday and one on Saturday evening. Are there any other regulars? Do they need a refuel on the return journey as these cities are maybe 2 hours north of Belfast?

Just back from a return trip to London using Stansted. Have to say, Fr coming off Lgw is a big loss. I used Stansted as the fares to Lgw on Ezy were too high. Used the so-called Stansted Express, £44.00 return for 2. I have got into London from Lgw for £5.60 single. The "express" was caught behind a slow train on both journeys so at times went at a crawl. Only in the UK would we be proud on having a slow train, I have been in trains twice now that were advertised as slow trains. The journey to/from Stansted is slower than Lgw and is more un-predictable in the sense you can easily be delayed by these slow trains, it has happened to me on that route several times. So Lgw is by far the most convenient route into London, but fares are higher now and the Ezy times are not as good as Fr. Big loss in my opinion.

Northern Ireland is not part of the National Rail network, so i'm not sure how you can be proud of a slow train in England.
The Stansted Express service costs £26 for an Off Peak return travelcard. As I have a 16-25 railcard I can get that for £17 or £13 for the Return journey.
So, if you live in GB that journey will not cost you that much. I mean £13 return is cheap as you will get.

There is no UK wide perspective, Northern Ireland rail travel is completely different to Great Britain. Not Privatised, only one operator, very small network, not widely used, not electrified.
